deposited at the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas for safekeeping, according to the Commission on Elections .
Guerrero said the particular compartment where the AES source codes are stored can be opened only by Comelec.“It would be the executive director who has that key and the combination lock, which is also under the sole responsibility of the Comelec. The BSP cannot have access to that. We don’t know that combination, we don’t have the locks. So that will ensure the integrity of the source code. Nobody can open that and can have access to that except Comelec,” she said.
“All source codes were deposited in the BSP’s vault. BSP guarantees that the vault assigned to Comelec is secured by a series of metal locks and combination codes, and the keys to the metal locks, as well as the combination codes are under the sole custody of Comelec officials, to ensure that the source code will not be tampered by anyone and will remain unaltered, thus preserving the legitimacy of the elections,” he said.
Diokno said the central bank is “willing and ready to accept such deposit” anew in line with the need to protect the integrity of the source codes for the upcoming polls.
